Dog Tax.

A bill pending in the territorial legis-
lature proposes to impose tax upon
dogs, for the purpose of creating fund
to recompense sheep owners for losses
sustained by canine invasion. The
amount Of the tax is fixed at three dol
lars each for those of the female per
suasion, and one dollar each for the
sterner sex, which it is proposed shall
be carried on the assessment and tax
rolls, the owner being required to furnish
the assessor description of his dog
The owner is held liable for damage
whether or not he had notice, or other
wise knew his dog was vicious. Allow.
ance for damage is to be made by the
county commissioners, and in case Of a
surplus being left in the treasury at the
end of the year, it liz to be applied to.
ward the support Of the poor.

More Snelters.

Arrangements are being made for ad-
ditional and increased facilities for
smelling ores here in the Black Hills,
and the works will be erected early in
spring. The Iron Hill company will
put up smelter at the mill of 50.ton
capacity at least. At Bald Mountain or
Ruby Basin the contract has been made
for the erection Of two smelters of an
aggregate capacity Of 100 tons; arrange
ments have been made for starting the
smelter at Galena and the machinery
for the sampling works in Deadwood
has been placed on the ground. BY
early spring we shall have in operation
smelling works sufficient to melt 250 to
300 tons day, and sanpling works that
can handle as much more. In Bald
Mountain there are all the substances to
promote the fusion of the metals, there
being there an abundance Of iron ores,
limestone, silica, while there is plenty
of wet or lead ores TO be had at Galena,
which is the only substance OF the me-
tallic nature lacking in the Bald Noun
tain district 10 complete the fiuxes, and
Galena and Bald Mountain being con-
nected by rail within three miles, the
transfer to and fro Of the different sub
stances for smelling, would be easy

Present indications point provokingly
but positively 10 the conclusion that
Dakota will receive no attention what
ever from congress during the present
session. This result has been repeated
ly predicted in former issues Of the
CHRoNICLR, and was based upon the
evident absence Of unity upon the part
Of the people of the territory, who, in
steal Of uniting in an earnest effort to
attain single measure of importance,
have been divided in their weak efforts
to acquire the earth and first mort
gage on the moon. Had statehood been
relegated to temporary rest. as the situa-
ton clearly warranted, and an earnest,
united effort been exerted in behalf OF
the Dawes bill, @ measure Infinitely
more important to the territory, and
especially to this portion Of it, than any
measure yet proposed, there is reason to
believe it would have met with success
| Until there is at least semblance OF
unity upon the part Of the people of the
territory, we may safely conclude that
Dakota with all her splendid possibili-
ties will be most severely let alone.

Enterprise.

The citizens Of Buffalo Gap have re-
Gently held one or more mass meetings
for the purpose of devising ways and
means for the advancement of her gen
eral interests. Among the many i'm
portant questions presented and dis.
cussed, that of fsecuring some means for
the protection of property from the
ravages Of fire may be deemed the most
urgent, and ia view Of securing such
protection, it is proposed to obtain full
supply of water, by means Of sinking an
artesian we'll, which it is thought will
be undertaken in the near future. A
fire company was organized, and a COM
mittee appointed TO procure hooks
ladders, etc.
The question Of an additional term o
school was discussed and steps taken tc

Re-districting Racket.

The News and Pilot, who thus Tar are
divided upon any method yet suggested
for re districting the county, and are
only united upon the issue of wrestling
every vestige of power and prestige
from section comprising two-thirds of
the area of the county, should agree
upon compromise in view Of uniting
upon some definite line Of policy.
While the Pilot declares emphaticslly
for five commissioner districts, the
such action, favoring simply change
in the present boundaries. The News
favors two commissioners for ne.third
OF the area of the county, while the
Pilot modestly (?) asks four for the same
area, virtually there is only difference
of a matter Of two commissioners be-
tween them. We would suggest that
they split the difference and call it three
They do not differ, however, as to the
western two-thirds Of this county being
only entitled to one, and it is somewhat
road organs agree on one important
public question. With two powerful
organs pitted against US, presenting
different issues practically tending to
tie same result, we find that too much
Of our time would be absorbed in giving
each OF them that degree Of attention
which their labored articles would seem
TO warrant, and have therefore called to
our assistance juvenile, over whose
Webstcrian brow, the frosts Of ten Custer
winters have not yet left their impress.
This youth who is reputed to be one of
Bowers best, is at present attending our
public school, and has submitted the
following interrogatory nuts for our
contemporaries to crack:
If one company in the west end of
Custer county by paying more taxes
than any other individual or company
in the county, is just cause for abrogat
ing one Of the two commissioner dis
trlcts now comprised in the western
part Of the county, how many such tax
payers would it require to justify the
ubrogation Of the other district?
If fifty hangers on ut railroad point
who do not represent dollar in proper
ty, real or personal, count fifty in de-
termining boundary lines for commits
sioner districts, what would be a just
estimate for fifty men who pay taxes
upon nearly one.half of the taxable
property in the county,
The boy also suggests, that in view Of
there being at this time before the ter
ritoria legislature, bill, which if pass
ed will bar tins county from enjoying
| the supreme benefits, whatever they
| may be- resulting from the addition Of
two commissioners, that for .he present,
in his judgment, which, par parenthcsis,
is here universally conceded in, it might
| be acting the part of wisdom to defer
action, in any event until the two or
gans effect the compromise above SYM
pathetically referred to. The respecta-
bility and intelligence Of the youthful
pectlon Of the county, az compared to
the severe very severe) old age and
decrepitude Of the western section of
the county as referred TO by the News
had only the effect Of making the boy
blush, while he persisted in his refusal
to make any reply.

No less than five bills have been in-
troduced in the territorial legislature
for the establishment of soldiers homes
in Dakota. Coupled with the apparent
solicitude upon the part of our repre-
sentatives, for the superannuated sol
dier, the desire to advance the interests
of particular localities is also manifested
and it would be most surprising il
where so many localities are brought in
competition, an agreement should be
reached locating such an institution al
any point We have little faith in the
passage Of any of the many bills intro
duced having for their object the estab
!ishment Of a soldiers home in Dakota

Ii is but fair TO state that the indebt-
edness Of Butte county was largely con-
tracted prior to its organization, when
it formed part of Lawrence county,
and that the Indebtedness of Custer
county as stated, is largely in excess OF
what it would have been, had Fall
River county, like Butte, assumed her
just proportion Of the county indebted
ness, which she will unquestionably
have to do when the case is submitted
to the courts, as we have reason to be-
lieve it will be at no distant day.

The Mandan Route.

The Mandan and Black Hills railroad
question is one Of the most interesting
topics that can be brought to the atten-
tion of Messrs Washabaugh and Wells,
members of the council from the Hills.
IF this road can be built our output
and incoming freight over it will alone
pay for maintenance, to say nothing OF
the fine country between here and the
Hills which will at once settle up with
an enterprising lot of farmers and stock
men," says Mr.. Washabaugh. "What
we need and must have" said this
gentleman, "is an outlet to the lakes
and this proposed road will give it to us.
Our merchants will gladly make con-
tracts year in advance to send all their
freight over the proposed line if freight
rates are made reasonable" Mr. Washa-
baugh and his col.eages feel that with
North Dakota west of the river, al.
though separated by large space OF
unsettled country from the Hills, il
bound TO the Hills by ties as strong as
any other portions of the country, and
We need railroads to make this feeling
stronger.-Mandan Pioneer.

it appears desired the suspension Of one
Haley, special timber agent of Mon
tana, was somewhat importunate in his
demand. and Sparks, who was especially
favorable to Haley, who he regarded as
one Of the best agents in the service
refused to comply with Forans demand,
whereupon Foran, becoming furious
thus addressed him:
